Hydraulic Systems Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. What is Pascal's Law? | Pressure applied to an enclosed or confined liquid is transmitted equally in all directions without loss and acts with equal surface |
| 2. What is the output pressure of most aircraft hydraulic system? | 3,000 psi |
| 3. What do hydraulic system multiply? | Force |
| 4. The force multiplication achieved in a hydraulic system is accomplished by a decrease in _________________ movement. | Linear |
| 5. What are the two types of power pumps used to generate fluid pressure in hydraulic systems? | Constant displacement and variable displacement pumps. |
| 6. What are the functions of the reservoir? | Store fluid, trap impurities, dissipate heat, and purge air bubbles. |
| 7. What does the pressure regulator or unloader valve do during normal operations? | Used with the constant displacement pump. Regulates the system pressure to normal limits. |
| 8. What is the purpose of the accumulator? | System shock absorber, supplements system pressure during peak operations, one time emergency use. |
| 9. What is the function of the check valve? | Ensure one way fluid flow |
| 10. What is the purpose of the selector valve? | Redirects the flow of hydraulic fluid, changing the direction of travel to the actuator. |
| 11. Why is a relief valve included in a hydraulic system? | As a Safety backup in case of over pressure of hydraulic system. |
| 12. Changing the position of the selector valve will have what effect on the movement of the fluid in the system? | Reverse the flow of hydraulic fluid, changing the direction 13 of the travel to the actuator. |
| 13. What is the purpose of the hydraulic fuse? | Helps guard against leaks by isolating a parts of the systems. |
| 14. What is the purpose of the actuating cylinder? | Converts' fluid energy into mechanical motion |
